Was on the Mondeaux late on the 9th till noon of the 11th,got most pike here on spoons but nothing on them or spinnerbaits switched to different rig tossing 6 in.senko got 2 decent largemouth 16-18 and a 25 and 33in.pike,crappie hitting in evening once you found them,not the gill action of previous years,fished here 2x july,1 northern lots of crappie

Went up a few weekends ago targeting northern and couldn't hook into any. Hoping for any suggestions, I'm throwing a daredevil and fire tiger spoons 5/8 ounce and didn't see any action. I get slammed using these for pike down in waupaca, but nothing up here. Always heard stories of family getting slammed with pike and I hadn't got anything. Any suggestions for Mondeaux let me know.

If you camp at Spearhead, get a site in the beginning of the loop as soon as you come down the big hill. The bay there is protected from the wind and a nice place to canoe with plenty of structure to fish.

Here's the best advice I can give: concentrate on the shorline brush piles and logs and you'll get action. From what I have been told, but have not seen, is there was a significant bluegill die-off. Again, I am only going by what I was told.

Headed to Mondeaux in a week with my 10-year old for some camping and fishing (in a canoe). Any words of wisdom or advice for a rookie on this body of water? Looking for a few eaters and enough to catch to kill time for a couple of days.

Didn't see anything dead/floating however we launched Saturday at the Lodge targeing shorelines for gills but will say this: We pounded the shores hitting brush etc. all the way South, past Picnic Point, down to the island South of it. Nothing doing on crappie minnows and crawlers.

but if you spend an amount of time on this lake you know that the gills coud use a thinning out anyway. FAR too many in the 3-5" range.

I am wondering if the walleye got flushed out or eaten. There's a number of deep pools but only room for so many fish. I would think that the flow of the river would be enough to avoid a major die off.
